- The HP-UX machines are to blame here.

- HP-UX nfs rpc does not handle more than 8 groups in releases
- before 9.0, as NGRPS (see rpc/auth_unix.h) was 8. The rpc
- authentication barfs when it runs into a user who is a member
- of more than NGRPS groups.
-
- In HP-UX 9.0, NGRPS has been changed to 16.
